Hi uthpala227,
To my experience, you've connected the hotspot to your laptop. Your laptop will remember that password and tries to join it with your old password. Try to click "Forget" on your device:
If you use a Mac:
- Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Network.
- Select Wi-Fi in the list on the left.
- Click the Advanced button.
- The Wi-Fi pane shows a Preferred Networks list. Select the Wi-Fi network that you want your Mac to forget.
- Click the remove button (–) beneath the list. If you're asked to confirm, click Remove.
- Click OK.
- Click Apply.
If you're using a Windows device:
- Open the Wi-Fi options bar
- Right click your hotspot
- Click "Forget"
After you're done, join the hotspot again and enter the password.
